2025- 2026 General Cardiology Fellows

Saaket Agrawal, MD

Saaket grew up in Sacramento, California and completed his BS in Chemistry at Caltech. He completed his MD at Northwestern University and Internal Medicine residency at Massachusetts General Hospital where he was part of the Stanbury Physician-Scientist Program. His research interests involve combining tools in population genetics and data science to investigate the inherited basis of cardiovascular disease and to better define metabolic health. His clinical interests are broad within cardiology including prevention, sports cardiology, and heart failure. Outside of work, he enjoys attending live music shows and watching NBA basketball.

Reem Elorbany, MD, PhD

Dr. Reem Elorbany earned her BS in Biological Sciences from the University of Chicago, where she developed an interest in scientific inquiry and its applications in human health. She remained at the University of Chicago to receive her MD, as well as a PhD in Genetics, Genomics and Systems Biology, studying the temporal dynamics of gene regulation during cardiomyocyte development using single cell sequencing. She completed her Internal Medicine residency training at Stanford as part of the Translational Investigator Program for physician scientists. She plans to pursue a career combining clinical cardiology and research on gene regulation in the development of cardiovascular disease. She is passionate about education and advocating for women and girls in medicine and science.

Chan Hee Choi, MD, PhD

Dr. Chan Hee Choi was born in Seattle, Washington, and raised in Seoul, South Korea. He received his undergraduate degree in biochemistry from the University of Chicago. He subsequently entered the Tri-Institutional MD-PhD Program in New York City, earning his MD from Weill Cornell Medical College and his PhD from the Rockefeller University. His doctoral research focused on the role of adipocytes in systemic metabolism, with a particular emphasis on the endocrine functions of adipocyte-secreted proteins. Chan Hee completed his residency training in internal medicine at Stanford. Outside of his clinical and research pursuits, he enjoys exploring the Stanford campus, running, and expanding his culinary repertoire, especially in Korean cuisine.

Amber B. Tang, MD

Dr. Amber Tang grew up in Portland, Oregon before moving to New Haven, Connecticut where she studied Biology at Yale University. She ultimately returned to the West Coast to pursue her MD at UCLA. She remained in Los Angeles to complete her internal medicine residency at UCLA where she studied heart failure outcomes with a particular focus on implementation science as a means of improving use of guideline-based therapies for patients with heart failure. She is interested in healthcare quality and the use of system-level interventions to improve delivery of care and reduce disparities in the management of heart failure. Outside of work she enjoys spending time with her family, exploring the outdoors, and hanging out with her two cats." 

Jimmy Zheng, MD, MS

Dr. Jimmy Zheng grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and graduated from UCLA with a BS in Evolutionary Biology. He then worked in life sciences strategy consulting, helping biotech and pharma companies develop novel therapeutic agents. Dr. Zheng earned his MD from Stanford University School of Medicine and completed a MS in Clinical Research and Epidemiology. During his graduate studies, he collaborated with Dr. Alex Sandhu on projects including comparative outcomes analyses, cost-effectiveness of heart failure therapies, and a pragmatic clinical trial investigating patient-reported quality of life outcomes. Dr. Zheng has a particular interest in valvular heart disease and plans to focus his career in this area. In his free time, he enjoys cooking, hiking, savoring milk tea, and watching action shows.

Sulaiman Somani, MD

Dr. Sulaiman Somani was born in India and moved to the US at an early age and grew up in rural Georgia. He earned his B.S. in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology, graduating summa cum laude. He then enrolled in medical school at Mount Sinai, during which time he took a two-year leave to co-found and lead product development for Monogram Orthopedics, a startup that focuses on improving outcomes following hip and knee replacements by generating 3D-printed, patient-specific implants from CT scans, work which has resulted in 9 filed patents, a company IPO in 2023, and a recent 510(k) clearance from the FDA. Upon his return to medical school, he fell in love with Internal Medicine and married his experience in computer vision with new interest in Cardiology by developing algorithms to improve disease diagnostics from electrocardiogram waveforms. He matched at Stanford for residency in 2021, where he was chosen to serve as Chief Resident and additionally received the Wolfsohn Award for Outstanding Performance in Internal Medicine, Best Clinical Teaching by a Medicine Resident Award, and the Award for Professionalism As A Member Of The House Staff in successive years. His research at Stanford has focused on using AI to understand public and physician behaviors around key cardiovascular topics, like ASCVD and atrial fibrillation, using social media and electronic health record data, for which he was awarded the American College of Cardiology’s Young Investigator Award in 2024. He plans to pursue a career in Cardiac Electrophysiology, with a research focus on AI, medical device, and digital health research.
